Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Tuesday, June 04, 2008 One may ask, if God is controlling everything, what is the need for human effort? Yes, God is all powerful. But at the same time human effort is also necessary, for without it man cannot enjoy the benefit of God's grace. It is only when you have both Divine grace and human endeavour that you can experience bliss, just as you can enjoy the breeze of a fan only when you have both a fan and electric power to operate it. Tuesday, June 03, 2008 Atma Jnana (spiritual wisdom) can be won only by giving up Vasanas (impulses), transcending the mind and analysing one's experiences to grasp the Reality. Without these three, Jnana will not dawn. Firstly, give up all impure impulses and cultivate the pure ones. Then gradually try to give up even these and render the mind completely devoid of any desire. Shanti (peace) thus attained is effulgent, blissful and filled with wisdom. It is indeed the experience of Godhead. Monday, June 02, 2008 Who are My real Bhaktas (devotees)? Those with Viveka (discrimination), Vairagya (renunciation), Vijnana (wisdom) and Vinaya (humility), who are aware of the knowledge of Reality, who are always immersed in the contemplation of My Leela (glories), who dwell on My name at all times and under all circumstances and who shed tears of love whenever the Lord's name is heard from any lip - they are My genuine Bhaktas. - Satya Sai Baba As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM TODAY http://groups.msn.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
